<div class="">I’ve been approached about taking up one of the OGC slots. I too am curious about the benefits and how participation would benefit and play out over the long run. </div>

<div class="">I’m a long time open source advocate and a long time meber of a number of the OSGeo list serves. I have a number of related contacts related to the use of open source in local government as well as a long time user and promoter of OGC specifications
